Science

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” Carl Sageri

In our school the teaching of science inspires a curiosity about phenomena and events in the world. Our school vision aspires for individuals to have a respect for and a wonder and curiosity for God’s creation.

The teaching of science at our school aspires to create Scientists who challenge their own thinking and the thinking of others and so develop a persistent curiosity. Our curriculum is planned so that pupils progressively build on learnt scientific knowledge and skills.

We aim to ensure that children have a high level of science capital, with meaningful experiences which promote positive attitudes. We strive to inspire life-long interest and engagement with the subject. Pupils regularly have the opportunity to apply skills with increased independence, raising questions and recognising ways in which they might scientifically answer questions and understand  the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.
